Sorry about yesterday's super rambly post... I took the time to read it over again today and I realized that it made absolutely no sense. Anyways, I figure that I'd post another inspiration sort of piece today- one that actually has some flow to it.
After I wrote the post yesterday, I did take a walk. On my walk, I thought a lot about my status as a 'floater'- a person who floats through life but doesn't really enjoy the ride. I came to the conclusion that I do that a lot. I wish for days to pass by so that it's the weekend and I never really make use of my time. I am simply floating, not living.
Here's the problem with floating: I am missing out on the world around me. In a few short months, I won't be in my beautiful neighborhood any more; I'll be in college. I can't possibly float through the last few months of my childhood!
A lot of us tend to float because we think that better days are yet to come. I know that I myself have said countless times that I can't wait for the next few months to pass by so that I can be in college and not have to worry about silly high school problems. Why haven't I ever thought to live in the moment?
Enjoy every single second of every day. None of us know if we're going to be here tomorrow, so what's the use of floating? Life is incredibly fragile- don't waste it on wishing for the future. Live for today, not for tomorrow.
Dance like no one is watching. Soak up the beautiful sunshine. Live without regret.
Just live.
